Laricola is a genus of extinct gull-like birds that lived during the late Oligocene and early Miocene in what is now Europe.[1]

Taxonomy[edit]

Mlíkovský described the genus Laricola in 2002.[2] Milne-Edwards (1863–1868) had previously classified three of the genus' members (Laricola elegans, L. totanoides, and L. desnoyersii)asLarus.[3][4] The type speciesisLaricola elegans (Milne-Edwards, 1868). Laricola have "proportionally longer and more slender legs" than extant species of the family Laromorphae.[1]

Laricola fossils stem from France, and allegedly the Czech Republic.[1]

Species[edit]

The genus contains five species.[1]

Laricola elegans (Milne-Edwards, 1868)

Laricola totanoides (Milne-Edwards, 1868)

Laricola desnoyersii (Milne-Edwards, 1863)

Laricola intermedia (De Pietri et al., 2014)

Laricola robusta (De Pietri et al., 2014)
